Flat out…and hungry for more.
If we were all as vain as Pretty Boy and lived in a world where looks set lap times, there’d be no doubt that the strikingly fashioned 959 Corse would’ve topped this year’s SBOTY test. New for 2018, Ducati’s deserving of commendations for making its otherwise mediocre and under-gunned entry level sportsbike an object of lust.
Sporting trick Öhlins suspension, sleek and sexy twin-pot Akrapovic cans and a paint scheme straight out of MotoGP, the last surviving L-twin Ducati sportsbike has been blasted onto our radars like a dowdy librarian who’s suddenly discovered hot pants and heels. In essence, the package’s credentials are largely the same as the stock 959’s but that didn’t stop it from being eyed up, down and every which way by our rabble of riders when wheeled out before us at Navarra.
